The breath-taking story of a man who nearly would have changed the world. 1939, when Hitler convinced millions of people at the height of his power, one said a radical No: Georg Elser, disparaged as an assassin, is one of the greatest resistance fighters. —Andrei

Trivia
While Hitler is speaking, he is handed a note mentioning that bad weather will ground his plane. It is not explained in the movie, but Hitler cut short his speaking engagement (and avoided Elser's bomb) so that he could catch a train instead.

Goofs
In the first flashback to 1932, two young boys are shown trading cards of airplanes. One of the cards shows a Messerschmidt Bf-109, which one boy also calls a "Messerschmidt". But the Bf-109 had its first flight only in 1935 and entered service not until 1937, so it would not have been featured in a 1932 trading cards game.

Quotes
Georg Elser: If humanity isn't free, everything dies with it.

7/10

Authentic movie based on a true story

I liked how this movie was told. It's a great experience seeing this retrospective. The actor who played Georg Elser delivered a very respectable job. The message he tried to transmit to the Nazis wasn't understood unfortunately. He was a very clever and courageous man. We should never forget him even if his plan failed. Just imagine what happened to all the humanity if Adolf Hitler lost his life in the bomb attack. The locations were well developed and I felt really to be in the scene. Watch it, you won't regret. 7/10.
